C++

BOOL GetComputerNameA(
[out] LPSTR lpBuffer,
[in, out] LPDWORD nSize
);

Is there a maximum length allowed from a computer name, so I can size my lpBuffer?

Answer 1

The maximum number of characters for a Netbios computer name is 15. The buffer passed to GetComputerName should be at least 16 characters.
